I have been culturing Phyto for a month now and I can't seem to get it very dense. Does my culture look fine or can I get it alot darker than it already is?

Do you feed your bottles? I put a couple of drops of Schutlzl liguid plant food in mine each week. After about 10 days, you can barely see light through mine.

I put 1ml of Micro Algae Grow in each bottle.
